Well what isit Ivan HO
Are you going to put your money where your mouth is or are you going to keep running your **** eater?
Only a pathetic soul such as your own would disparage a cause like fighting breast cancer. Please do us a favor and do go "molt" somewhere, whatever the eff that's supposed to mean.
OMG!!!!
Do you have breast by the way????
 
Ice up son . Ice up.
Thats all I'm telling you.
Let me know what you get for a reply by the way. Lets me see if you CAN MAN UP and get back to me.
I know it's only 10 am, but are you drunk?
 
Actually, the pink hats are for women who support breast cancer awareness, which apparently Patrodomous thinks it's OK to ridicule and scorn that cause.

If my mother were still around she'd punch him in the throat (God rest her awesome soul :().

Sorry to hear about your mom. I realize the pink wear supports breast cancer but the term "pink hat" generally is used in a derogatory way to imply a front running fan.,
 
Can we keep this thread on topic? There's enough going down that we don't need to turn on each other. Thanks.
 
A possibility. The Patriots inflated the balls to the minimum amount of air, or slightly higher, and did it in a process where the ball were very warm (heated the air or the ball with the air in it) The psi would begin dropping slowly at room temperature, so the refs could have measured 12.5 and then 2 hours later they were down to 12, 11.5, etc and the rest of the difference is from being out in the cold. This would not be illegal.
If the Colts inflated to the max and had a .5 to 1.0 decrease in psi, those balls would be within guidelines.
There is a lot to be determined here and this is not cut and dried.
A few other questions:

1) Did the refs check the balls properly before the game (rumor is that they checked them at halftime with 2 different gauges so that is fishy)
2) Is the report of '2 lbs under' from halftime, or after the game? Did they reinflate at halftime (how many) and then they were -2 after the game?
3) I find it hard to believe every ball was -2 and there was no deviation. I think there is short-hand in that report, so what were the exact ranges?
4) Does -2 mean 10.5 (2 below the min) or 11.5 (2 below the max) or 11 (2 below the average)
5) Where and how were the balls stored during the game? The fact that all but one were deflated would lead to the conclusion that it was done by the guy holding the bag, since we probably only played with a few of them.
6) Is there film available of the sidelines that would show anything done to the balls?
7) What is the true impact of the weather

I'm sure there are others, but I'm not ready to jump to conclusions yet.
My final question is why did the NFL leak this information? They officially say they are not done with the investigation. If the measurements were at halftime why did it not get leaked for 2 days? Is the leak accurate? Are they trying to let the story out a little at a time to soften the negative blow, or to show their hands before interviewing the Patriots personnel? Whatever the reason it was clearly either done on purpose or is not 100% reliable information to begin with.
 
So, the Pats "deflated" footballs were easier to catch on Sunday. Then, how bad@ss are Revis and Collins for catching Luck's footballs on Sunday?
 
It's crazy up in here. Lol.
 
Sorry to hear about your mom. I realize the pink wear supports breast cancer but the term "pink hat" generally is used in a derogatory way to imply a front running fan.,
Thank you and it was a few years ago. Actually the "pink hat" term is generally a political reference, and this is not the forum to continue that conversation. That being said I support any man who wears pink anything for that cause. It takes too many of our good women from us.
 
Can we just get a decision on this?

Most "decisions" were made the second the investigation was launched: off with their heads. Seriously, this thing was blown out of proportion and no matter what comes next from the NFL, people are going to say what they are going to say. As we've talked about at length - reason and perspective mean nothing to most people.
 
Answer the question

No dummy I got both of you buy the balls and your both trying to change the narrative. Aren't you glad you picked this fight???

Lmao it doesn't get any more oblivious than this.
 
Now moron Joe Biden is chiming in....he likes softer balls.

Our country's leadership...:eek:

At this point I think banning dipshit would be the best solution.

You're an idiot. I wish you would get deflated. Go get some coffee and take a cold shower.
